We just released <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biorxiv.org\/content\/10.1101\/2025.06.13.659647v1\">our latest work on laser scan engine technology<\/a>. It&#8217;s focused on how we can increase the scan angle range of otherwise inertia-limited scan engines. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The increase can be any integer multiple: 2x, 3x, 4x, or more&#8211; we show that there&#8217;s no limit in principle. Critically, this scan angle range increase comes with no penalty in terms of line scan rate or beam diameter. Lead engineer Che-Hang Yu did spectacular work on this&#8211; very creative, thorough, and rigorous. He provides a bunch of diffraction-limited designs, example data, and creative variations including a phase amplifier that can be used for adaptive optics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Che-Hang had the fun idea to use AI to make a fake podcast about the work. I found it hilarious! It&#8217;s quite good in terms of describing the work in plain language, and it&#8217;s hysterical how it nails a lot of cliches about podcasts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To share the fake podcast, I made a (real) video of me listening to it and providing some commentary and visual aids. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Non-inertial scan angle multiplier - AI-generated podcast with actual human commentary\" width=\"757\" height=\"426\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qO1nenu6LiI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><a href=\"https:\/\/labrigger.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image.png\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This is a silly thing, but I&#8217;m going to post it here anyways.
